Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Every Member who is contributing is saying that we have discussed many issues but they have not been implemented. I want to assure Members in this House that the Mover of this Motion is the Vice Chair of the Committee on Implementation. I am sure this Motion will be implemented. We are working around the clock to make sure that the Motions and Bills that were not implemented are implemented. I am also a Member of the Committee on Implementation.

This Motion is very important to us, as a nation. When I was in the USA, England and many other countries some years back, I used to see business being transacted online. I admired that. I am happy to see that when you want to transact a business these days in Kenya, it is done online. It is important for our young people because they will get some jobs. They need to use Wi-Fi to check things online. Our country is growing very fast. We support things like these. In another 10 years, we will compete with other developed countries.

We discussed about the establishment of ICT hubs in every constituency the other day. I am happy to hear from the Chair that they are discussing to see how the Ministry of ICT will finance each constituency to have three ICT hubs. This shows that our country is moving forward.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I concur with the Chair. Let me give myself as an example. I was in court the other day. It is just about the same thing. Corruption is corruption. There is no way it can be defined as something else. I support the Chair.

get away with it. They even decide to sell properties. The Chair can decide to sell properties of the cooperative societies and goes scot free.

The laws that are there at the moment are not good. This Parliament should act. As we are talking and discussing this Bill, we need to come up with strict laws. If a Chairman of a society steals from the farmers he must be apprehended and taken to court like any other person who is corrupt in this country. I am saying this because cooperatives are the biggest contributors to the economy of this country. Fourteen million Members contribute over Kshs1 trillion. That is a lot of money for the economy of the country. So, we must not fail to ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for a long time, I think Members of this House were not talking. It has taken a long time for this Bill to be introduced in the House. I appreciate that this Bill has come at the right time. Before we end discussing this Bill, I am sure we are going to come up with laws that protect the poor farmer.
